HACC Reporting

Sites participating in the HACC program will need to arrange for Communicare to import the HACC or HACC (Victoria) dataset. This will introduce a variety of HACC clinical items to be used for the capture of data required by the reporting body. Items can easily be selected from a button in the clinical record labelled HACC.

Various reports under Report > HACC can be used to report on data collection. The Quarterly extract report should be run when required and the instructions followed as to how to save the report as a .csv file and send to the reporting body.

These reports are not designed for on screen display.

If you have the Report Scheduler configured, it is recommended that you use it to generate the extract at the end of each quarter and send it as type CSV.

If you run this report manually, do the following:

1. Select the report and run it with the 'Yes' button

2. Fill in the parameters

NOTE: Each time you run this for the same quarter you should increase the transmission number. The scheduled report should use a transmission number of 1.

3. Once the report is displayed on the screen click the 'Save Report' button

4. Select a suitable folder on your computer

5. Name the file appropriately

NOTE: For Victoria the file name should be named: 'HACC__' + 5 digit agency_identifier + 4 digit year + quarter number + transmission number zero padded (eg 02) + '01.csv' e.g. HACC__01234200630101.csv (there must be exactly 20 characters before the .csv).

6. Change the 'Save as type' to 'Comma Separated(*.CSV)'

7. Save

8. Send the file

NOTE: For Victoria send to haccmds.data@dhs.vic.gov.au.
